Tell the parents of the bully if they are not prepared to do nothing about it, you will. Don't put any blame on your girl for not fighting back, just let her know that if she is being hit, she may want to hit back.

I hate to put it all on her, but I agree with those saying she needs to fight him. It's good for her (if agonizing for you), and is the only long-term solution to a bully that you might not be around to watch all the time.<br /><br />Bullies are lazy, and avoid kids that are going to be trouble. If she stands up to him, other bullies may take notice and save themselves the trouble.<br /><br />My mom made me stand up to a bully when I was 3 (he was 5). I never hurt him, I think, and I did get pushed down a lot. But he eventually got bored or tired and left. We were friends later on, and I never had problems in my "hood."
